Beautiful job!
Great job so far especially with the recipes! Please add a few more pictures of Jewish Life in France.
Map Of France
Flag Of France
France has seven bordering countries, Andorra, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, and Switzerland. The population is about 65.43 million people. Some historical events that occurred in France were the French Revolution 1789-1799. France was involved in both World War I and World War II. The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889.
The Eiffel Tower- Paris, France
France is located in Western Europe.In France they speak French.The climate of France is generally cool winters and mild summers, occasional north-to-north westerly wind knows as mistral.Some important people from France are Samuel De Champlain an explorer, Napoleon Bonaparte a general and emperor, Louis Vuitton the founder of Louis Vuitton fashion and Louis Pasteur whose work is one of the foundations of science.
In the early 1900s Jewish people came to France to flee the pogroms of Eastern Europe. In the 1950s and 1960s 300,000 Sephardic Jews immigrated to France from North Africa because of France's withdrawal from its empires in North Africa. Jewish places to visit in France are: .Medem Library (the largest Yiddish library in Europe) .Center of Documentation of Contemporary Jews .Museum of Jewish Art
Jewish education is very diverse: .Several Jewish libraries .Jewish Music week .Jewish Book week .Lively Jewish press
In just Paris there are 20 Jewish day schools. There are Hebrew schools, but very few of them.
France during the 1930s
The Jewish population of France was about 350,000 in the beginning of World War Two. After the war there were only about 160,000 Jews in France. There are Jewish places in France that have existed before the Holocaust. Jews are thought to have first settled in France around 163 B.C.E. France ended its ban on Jews in the 17th century. In the 18th century authorities for French Jews changed for the better.
Passover is the celebration of when Moses freed the Jews from slavery in Egypt. Passover is celebrated in mainly the same way all around the world. Seder means order, so the order in which the Seder is performed will be the same. Passover traditions go back thousands of years!
The French sandwich type confection is perfect for Passover. With no need for substitution of ingredients, macarons are practically made for Passover! Once you get the feel of the meringue, the recipe is easy and baking time is very quick.Fill the cookies with preserves or jam, buttercream frosting or ganache or even Chef Laura Frankel's Chocolate Mousse with Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Meatball and Fresh Pea Stew is a very popular dish prepared in France for Passover, and is usually served for lunch on the first day of the holiday. For those which custom don’t allow kitniyot during Passover, use zucchinis instead of peas, the result is still excellent.
Falafel Crusted Cheesy Potato Croquettes
Instead of frying up your average croquette, try dipping these cheesy and creamy mashed potatoes in homemade dried falafel mix for a new spin on the classic! They are gluten free too.
This is a delicious recipe, traditionally served on the second night of Rosh Hashanah. Like most of Rosh Hashanah recipes, there is a sweet twist, to symbolize the sweetness of the year to come.

I am Hunter Rudman and I am in 6th grade. I play basketball, football and baseball. My family celebrates Passover in the United States by going to peoples houses on each night.
I'm Emily Gershowitz and I'm in 6th grade. I love dance, especially ballet. I play the piano and violin and I'm in my school's orchestra. My family celebrates Passover in the USA, on the first night we go to a Seder at my grandparent's house, on the second night we have a Seder at my other grandparent's house.
